Hi, my little boy (aged 5) and I are going to be camping in Brienz Switzerland in a couple of weeks and I would like to know does anybody have any ideas for us?  We are a family on a budget so we are being careful with our spend ... that's why I'm looking for somebody who has perhaps done things in the area, used the travel system, can make recommendations, etc?  We both love nature and scenery. I'd hate to spend on something that's a waste of money or not worthwhile.  We'll be there for 2 weeks.  (If I had known when I booked the ferry/camping last December how tight for cash we'd actually be now then I'd probably have booked a cheaper country than Switzerland .  But deposits paid, committed to going, etc). 

Anybody have any ideas of what we could do, how to do it?

Hi Rob, thanks for the reply, we are booked into Camping Aaregg also and it looks fabulous.  I already paid them a hefty deposit (nearly 200 pounds) and I hate to lose a deposit ... but it has crossed my mind.  Financially things went a bit belly up since we booked ferry and campsite last Dec.  We booked a lakeside pitch (28) so even if we are living on a shoe string at the moment, at least we can wake up in the morning and enjoy beautiful scenery from dawn to dusk and that's free!!

Did you buy a vignette?  Do you think its possible for me to get away without it (I'd need two as I'm pulling a trailer, so need one for car and one for trailer).

Thanks for the tip about Jungfrau, I'll see if we can stretch to it.  Did you book things locally, or am I right in thinking that some things are cheaper if booked prior to arrival in Switzerland?
